2019 Bahrain F1 GP - Sakhir

I don’t know about the article but the woman’s situation is real. I first heard about this a while back. Basically she posts anti-f1 race comments on Facebook and then asks F1 for help getting out of prison. Irony much?

We all know she shouldn’t be in prison to begin with but she also knew full well that Bahrain isn’t exactly renowned for its human rights record, more renowned for its intolerance. Hopefully she gets out but F1 is a sporting event and I cannot see them interfering in the political stratosphere.

The fight for freedom usually start with one brave and solitary voice like that of Najar's. We who live to the west take our freedoms for granted because it is protected by law. When we enjoy a spectacle such as F1 in a country where such a spectacle is at he expense of the misery and human rights infringement of citizens of the hosting country, we should not turn our faces away from their plight. Regardless of whether their aim is contrary to our enjoyment. We must frown at injustices wherever we find them on this planet.

Of course, always frown at injustice like this and, as I said, she shouldn’t be in jail . I won’t continue down this topic of conversation because it’ll just deflect from the weekend. Hopefully she’ll be released soon.

We also tend to take our freedoms for granted because it's been so long since our own ancestors had to fight for them. People forget that vigilance for freedom never ends.

So what's the scoop on P1 & P2? (They were on ESPNU here and that's not part of my package.)

So what's the scoop on P1 & P2? (They were on ESPNU here and that's not part of my package.)

1. Vettel
2. Leclerc
3. Hamilton
4. Bottas
5. Hulkenburg
6. Verstapenn
7. Magnussen
8. Norris
9. Grojean
10. Kyvat
11. Sainz
12. Gasly
13. Albon
14. Perez
15. Ricciado
16. Raikonenn
17. Stroll
18. Giovinazzi
19. Russell
20. Kubica

This is not representative of what would happen in qualifying. But Ferrari is 0.603 seconds ahead of Mercedes. This is reminiscent of their Barcelona pace, but l think Mercedes is closer than this, l would think at least 0.3 or 0.2 sec closer.

Binotto Has confirmed that Ferrari were pushing its engines harder yesterday. It’ll be a lot closer today:

After the AGP. The question to be answered is can Bottas produce a similar performance this weekend?

That doesn't necessarily mean winning like he did at Albert Park. Even if Hamilton had pipped him into the first corner and won, that was the most potent performance by Bottas at MB. Sometimes you can perform well but not necessarily win, so effort doesn't equal results.

But it certainly changes the context of the championship if Bottas can go toe to toe with Hamilton throughout the first part of the season.
